Answer:

Width = 4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

$P=2l+2w$

Where

P is perimeter

l is length

w is width

Given length = 3.6 and perimeter = 16.8, we plug them in into the formula and figure out the width, w. Process shown below:

$P=2l+2w\\16.8=2(3.6)+2w\\16.8=7.2+2w\\16.8-7.2=2w\\9.6=2w\\w=\frac{9.6}{2}\\w=4.8$

Hence, the width is 4.8 inches

Answer:

Answer D (the fourth one)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to set up a (y−k)^2=4p(x−h). After plugging in all of your values, you would get (x-5)^2=-4(y-1). Now, we need to solve in terms of y by dividing each side by the factors that don't contain the variable. Your final solution should be $y = -\frac{1}{4}(x - 5^{2}) + 1$
